Zynga Sues EA For 'Anti-competitive' Practices 116
An anonymous reader writes "In early August, Electronic Arts sued Zynga for allegedly copying EA's Sims Social game. Zynga has now launched a counterattack, suing EA for 'anticompetitive and unlawful business practices, including legal threats and demands for no-hire agreements.' The company also accuses EA of copying a Zynga game called YoVille. Zynga has also demanded a jury trial to settle EA's claims."

Who's side are we supposed to be on?
Well, EA did once produce some good games, so them I suppose. They still have some potential: Zynga never had any. Zynga are also pretty blatant about ripping off other games producers (indie game makers included), EA are usually not quite so bad in that area at least.

Any more so than the free software community, with it's "Quadrapassel" and its "M-x tetris"?

It amazes me how often lawyers try to redact information from the public by changing the foreground and background to black when we can just select the text to reveal it.
Their counterclaim is full of not-so-redacted text.
